1And the Messenger of יהוה came up from Gilgal to Boḵim, and said, “I led you up from Mitsrayim and brought you to the land of which I swore to your fathers, and I said, ‘I do not break My covenant with you,2and as for you, do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of this land – break down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed My voice. What is this you have done?3“Therefore I also said, ‘I am not driving them out before you, and they shall be adversaries to you, and their mighty ones shall be a snare to you.’ ” JUDGES 2:1-3 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR

1 And an angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.2 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?3 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you. JUDGES 2:1-3 King James Version - KJV

1 The Angel rebuketh the people, because they had made peace with the Canaanites. 11 The Israelites fell to idolatry after Joshua’s death. 14 They are delivered into the enemies’ hands: 16 God delivereth them by Judges. 21 Why God suffered idolaters to remain among them.1 And an [a]Angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I had sworn unto your fathers, and said, I will never break my covenant with you.2 Ye also shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land, but shall break down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice. Why have ye done this?3 Wherefore, I said also, I will not cast them out before you, but they shall be as thorns unto your sides, and their gods shall be your [b]destruction. JUDGES 2:1-3 Geneva Bible 1599 - GNV

May Yah bless and keep you ALL safely abiding under the Shadows of His Mighty Wings. If you have not yet repented, I ask that you repent immediately. Turn to our Heavenly Father through His Beloved Son Yahushua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ). Please consider doing this immediately, for as we know the world is soon coming to a close. It is during this time that we will need Yah's full divine protection for what is to be unveiled. I believe that it was through obedience that Noah had such great faith; this in essence was what saved him and his family from the flood. As a follower of the Holy Messiah (born again Believer; a former Roman Catholic of 46+ years) there is so much to gain in doing so. My soul is richly blessed by the gems of truth revealed to me by my beloved Heavenly Father, Abba, and I have no regrets repenting of my past ways. Blessings! ~ Judy Velez

THE PSALMS

1I praise You, O יהוה, with all my heart; I declare all Your wonders.2I rejoice and exult in You; I sing praise to Your Name, O Most High.3When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish before You.4For You executed my right and my cause, You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.5You have rebuked the gentiles, You have destroyed the wrong, You have wiped out their name forever and ever.6The enemy is no more – ruins everlasting! And You have uprooted the cities; Even their remembrance has perished.7But יהוה abides forever, He is preparing His throne for judgment.8And He judges the world in righteousness, He judges the peoples in straightness.9And יהוה is a refuge for the crushed one, A refuge in times of distress.10And those who know Your Name trust in You, For You have not forsaken those who seek You, O יהוה.11Sing praises to יהוה, who dwells in Tsiyon! Declare His deeds among the peoples.12For He remembers the seekers of bloodshed, He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.13Show favour to me, O יהוה! See my affliction by those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,14So that I declare all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Tsiyon. I rejoice in Your deliverance.15The gentiles have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.16יהוה has made Himself known, He has done right-ruling; The wrong is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.17The wrong return to the grave, All the gentiles that forget Elohim.18For the needy is not always forgotten; Neither the expectancy of the poor lost forever.19Arise, O יהוה, Do not let man prevail; Let the gentiles be judged before Your face.20Put them in fear, O יהוה, Let the gentiles know they are but men. Selah. PSALM 9 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR
